Ask any therapist how many times they've heard the sibling story – "My mother loved my brother/sister more." When the therapist digs a bit deeper, they often find their aggrieved client owns the title of entitlement in their family.

Here's the hard reality: We're entitled to nothing. The push-pull universe doesn't respond to entitlement because it's not a real thing. It's something we made up.

The sooner we make up our mind to leave entitlement in our past, the sooner we can expect to see some return on our actions.
